Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a novel decimal optical buffer scheme based on a multiloop configuration and a single switch element-an optical crosspoint switch (OXS) matrix. Its variable-delay range is of 1 to 999 times the basic delay unit. The buffer dynamic reconfiguration can be achieved at nanosecond switching speed. Our results show that by using a differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) payload in the buffer it can outperform an on-off keying payload with 4-dB sensitivity improvement owing to its alleviation of patterning-induced degradation, clearly validating DPSK as a promising modulation format to overcome nonlinear impairments and to extend number of hops in all-optical packet-switching network.
